Chennai: The shift to contactless solutions is underway globally, with biometric technology being increasingly explored as an alternative to touch-based authentication methods (such as fingerprint authentication).

In this regard, Federal Bank has solicited IDEMIA to help implement a new access control system leveraging facial and iris verification to enable touchless access control at various points.

To complete enrolment, employees register their iris using a dedicated device plugged into a laptop. Once registered, the employee’s biometric template is registered to Federal Bank’s database and is used as a reference when access is requested to its secure systems.
